Alpha Paring Knife – Olive – 13cm

Alpha Paring Knife – with olive wood handle – by Güde

The Güde Olive Paring Knife X764/13 from the Alpha series features a beautiful handle made of fine-grained olive wood. It sits comfortably in the hand, thanks in part to the trademark of the Güde Alpha series: the second bolster or forged pommel at the end of the handle, which gives Güde Alpha knives their excellent balance when cutting.

The paring knife, once also known as the "Münsterland sausage knife," has a pointed blade and is an essential tool in any kitchen. Like all Güde knives, this Güde Alpha paring knife is hand-forged and hand-sharpened. The 13 cm blade, made of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel, is forged from a single piece, rust-proof, and ice-hardened. The typical knife rivets are made of stainless steel, though the palm rivet is made of non-stainless aluminum.

The olive wood handle scales, with their unique grain and coloring, give this knife series its special charm. The paring knife with the fine-grained olive wood handle should be cleaned by hand immediately after the 13 cm blade is set aside. Usually, a dishcloth dampened with warm water is sufficient. The knife is not dishwasher safe.

Güde Knives – Olive

The Güde Alpha series combines classic Solingen craftsmanship with a Mediterranean lifestyle. The knives are high-quality, extremely functional, and possess a timeless, simple design. These classic knives are now getting a Mediterranean touch with handle scales made of select olive wood. The olive wood, sourced from 100 to 500-year-old olive trees, is very hard and robust. The Güde Alpha series with olive wood handles is the perfect combination of traditional Mediterranean wood and the finest forging artistry.

Blade hand-forged from a single piece of chrome-vanadium-molybdenum knife steel. Further processing involves over 40 manual steps. Each handle scale is a unique piece; grains and inclusions are intentional and natural. The blade is rust-proof, ice-hardened, hand-sharpened, and not dishwasher safe.
